A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced forward slant and lively, calligraphic stroke flow, with pointed terminals and occasional teardrop-like endings. Counters are compact and the rhythm is driven by strong diagonals and curved joins, giving capitals a sculpted, display-like presence while lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with elegant curves and firm hairlines.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, and brand identities that want an upscale, expressive serif. It also fits packaging and poster typography where contrast and italic movement can carry the composition, and can work for short text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical bookish cues with fashion-forward energy. It feels premium and attention-grabbing, suited to settings where a sense of sophistication and drama is desirable.
Likely intended as an elegant italic serif that elevates conventional text-serif structure with heightened contrast and a more calligraphic, display-oriented flavor. The goal appears to be strong personality and visual sheen without abandoning familiar serif proportions.
The design leans on sharp entry/exit strokes and delicate hairlines that create sparkle at larger sizes, while the heavier main strokes keep the page color dense. Curved letters (like C, G, S) emphasize the diagonal stress, and the italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
